Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 2.9.37
Mukti· LiberationRemain Fixed in the Lord’s Conclusion
“O Brahmā, just follow this conclusion by fixed concentration of mind, and no pride will disturb you, neither in the partial nor in the final devastation.”
What the purport teaches
- Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, taught Brahmā the essential conclusion of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He advised Brahmā to remain fixed in it without pride or bewilderment.
- Understanding begins by approaching a bona fide spiritual master in the paramparā system, or disciplic succession. The spiritual master teaches devotional service through scripture and personal example, not speculative interpretations.
- Loving devotional service brings satisfaction and detachment from sense enjoyment. To devotees constantly serving Him with love, the Lord gives guidance toward returning home, back to Godhead.
